Culinary Crises

All right you stupid ornery little egg
This has gone JUST about far enough
I order you to peel this very second!
Why? Could you just tell me why?
After all I did for you too
Placed you carefully in cold water
(Along with seven of your little buddies)
Turned the heat on ever so gently
Added a a half cup of vinegar
Bought you to a nice healthy boil
Let you have a good soak for 20 minutes
Ran soothing, cool water over you
Cracked your little booty open SO gently
And what, What do I get in return?
A whole lotta heartache that's what!

Well how does THIS feel ya little...
How's it feel to be SMashed on-the-FLOOR 
And GRound into the TILE with my heel and...

No wait! Did I? Oh no I didn't do...
It was an accident I swear to GOD it was!
I get these weird muscle spasms ya know?

Does this mean no deviled eggs today?
I'm devastated and TOTALLY crushed
And it’s obvious that you are too
Hope this doesn’t get back to your mom...

You have tickled me with your culinary crisis, Tim...I am a mediocre cook, at best, so I can relate to this kind of kitchen scene! Have a blessed weekend, dear friend...big hug, Rhonda
